G770 - does it have sata iii 6gb/s ?

I thought someone on the forum might be able to help as ive asked the lenovo help desk and they werent even aware the new g770 has usb3.

I have a sata iii 6gb/s SSD I would like to install in a g770 but before I buy the laptop Id love confirmation of the existence of a sata iii port. Ive noticed the w model has the capability despite lenovo not realising so Im hoping the same is true for the G770 as it has the HM65 2nd gen SandyBridge - which has the capability just depends if theyve included the sata iii port.

Yes. installed a Samsung 830 256GB SSD full 6Gb/s in to my G770 (i7 2.7Ghz, 8Gb Ram etc) used Norton Ghost 15 to transfer data (nightmare!) and got there in the end. tested SSD and getting around 500Mb/s read and around 410Mb/s write. Drive shows up as full SATA3 compaptable. Boot times down to around 15 sec from 50 sec with 750Gb 5600rpm drive as supplied with Machine.
